  • Sensor element
    Patent number: 6141243
    Abstract: A sensor element has a field effect transistor sensitive to a physical quity to be detected. The gate electrode of the transistor is implemented as a floating gate. The sensor element has therefore integrated therein a sensor cell and a non-volatile memory. The operating point of the transistor can be adjusted permanently by means of the floating gate on which charges can be stored in a non-volatile manner. In addition, charges corresponding to a detected physical quantity can be stored on the floating gate via a simple circuit in a non-volatile manner.
